[jira] [Commented] (INFRA-3868) Enhancement to mail subscription
moderation messages
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-3868?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13178471#comment-13178471 ]
#asfinfra IRC Bot commented on INFRA-3868:
------------------------------------------
<danielsh> https://whimsy.apache.org/roster/committer/ now answers the "is this address a member? a committer?" question. seems to me that a bit of HTTP response code love + a static list of "mailing list => allows non-members?" would settle this

> Key: INFRA-3868
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-3868
> Project: Infrastructure
> Issue Type: Wish
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Components: Mail (qmail)
> Environment: Original discussion at:
> https://mail-search.apache.org/members/private-arch/infrastructure/201108.mbox/%3CCAOGo0VaGARdoyoZw8ZvqUUPqYKa_WLSCEgsVpT6=_kE3mTL8Ag@mail.gmail.com%3E

> Moderators are required to validate subscription requests to certain private mail lists.
> It can be tedious checking whether access is allowed; and given that it is infrequent, it can require extra effort to remember what is involved.
> The stages are:
> 1) determine what the subscription criteria are (e.g. ASF member)
> 2) Convert 3rd-party e-mail to ASF id if necessary
> 3) Check ASF id to see if they are a member or not
> It would help moderators if the subscription validation messages contained at least some of the necessary information.
> This would require a script that can process an e-mail address and lookup the required information, which can then be included in the moderator message.
> [A very crude solution would be just to include the procedure and pointers to the data in the message; might help a bit]
